The advertisement was made for the sole purpose of embarrassing and irredeemably damaging the name and business reputation of the applicants. The applicants stand to suffer more irreparable injury in the event that the respondents are not restrained from that conduct, yet the balance of convenience is in the applicants\u2019 favor,\u201d reasoned Bitature in his application before judge Steven Mubiru.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their response, Kirunda and Wesige argued that\u00a0the application\u00a0brought against them was\u00a0misconceived as it is against persons acting as agents of a known and disclosed principal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also reasoned that considering that the suit seeks to challenge the legality of a mortgage and notices issued under it, which issues are already before an arbitrator, the court had\u00a0no jurisdiction over the\u00a0matter\u00a0and therefore, there was no likelihood of success.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe application constitutes an abuse of court process by re-litigating a matter over, which the court has already made conclusive pronouncements. The application and the underlying suit are founded on a misinterpretation of the court decision which only declared a lack of capacity of M\/s Vantage Mezzanine Fund II Partnership to sue, but never declared the said entity non-existent as contended by the applicants,\u201d Kirunda and Wesige\u2019s affidavit reads in part.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It adds that the fact that Bitature has publicly\u00a0issued a statement acknowledging the debt\u00a0he has with Vantage, advertising his properties\u00a0for sale on account of default in repayment, is incapable of embarrassing and irredeemably damaging\u00a0his\u00a0name and business reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his ruling, Mubiru held that the decision by Justice Ssekaana that found that Vantage had no right to sue was\u00a0misconceived\u00a0because the issue before him was to determine whether\u00a0the Uganda Registration Survives Bureau\u2019s\u00a0[URSB]refusal to register a transfer of shares in\u00a0Bitature\u2019s company in favor of Vantage was legal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Justice Mubiru held that when Justice Ssekaana\u00a0allowed\u00a0Bitature to join the URSB case, he\u00a0erroneously permitted the ventilation of private rights in a process that is intended to address public law issues exclusively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even then, Justice Mubiru adds, Justice Ssekaana\u00a0never made any binding pronouncements regarding the existence of Vantage\u00a0but rather it&#8217;s capacity to sue on account of non-registration under\u00a0<em>The Partnership Act<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Justice Ssekaana case, the\u00a0issues presented for determination were; whether the applicant had locus to bring these judicial review proceedings; whether the applicant set out a proper case for judicial review,\u00a0whether the application raised any grounds for judicial review; and whether the applicant was entitled to reliefs sought.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is apparent from the above extract that expressions made relating to the existence or otherwise of M\/s Vantage Mezzanine Fund II Partnership are not part of the&nbsp;<em>ratio decidendi&nbsp;<\/em>but rather constitute&nbsp;<em>obiter dicta<\/em>. When a Judge delivers a decision in a case, the Judge outlines the facts which he or she finds have been proved on the evidence. Then he or she applies the law to those&nbsp;facts and arrives at a decision, for which the reason is stated. The judge may go on to speculate about what his decision would or might have been if the facts of the case had been different. This is an&nbsp;<em>obiter dictum<\/em>. The comments, suggestions, or observations made by the trial judge that was not necessary for resolving the application, as such, are not legally binding on other courts. The binding part of a judicial decision is the ratio decidendi. An&nbsp;<em>obiter dictum&nbsp;<\/em>is not&nbsp;binding in later cases because it was not strictly relevant to the matter in issue in the original case,\u201d Mubiru\u2019s 21-page ruling reads in part.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It adds that the judge also erred in finding that Vantage had no right to sue because it was never a registered partnership in Uganda as required by law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt could not have been the intention of Parliament in legislating section 4 of\u00a0<em>The Partnership Act, No. 2 of 2010\u00a0<\/em>that all firms digitally and remotely carrying on business, without a physical presence in Uganda, but under business names that do not consist\u00a0of the true surnames of all partners who are individuals and the corporate names of all partners which are corporations in the partnership without any addition other than the true first names of individual partners or initials of the first names; and the corporate names of all partners which are corporations, should register their name under\u00a0<em>The Business Names Registration Act<\/em>. To hold otherwise would create an absurdity in the wake of the modern exponential growth of global digital\u00a0businesses with increased international business relations, cross\u2010border transactions, and mobility. It would be an absurdity if all foreign firms engaged in such transactions are to be required to engage in multijurisdictional recognition before they can undertake enforcement efforts for the collection of debts,\u201d the ruling reads in part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding that &#8220;for any judge to&nbsp;determine whether or not a foreign business organization, be it a corporation or firm, is carrying on business in Uganda,&nbsp;he&nbsp;must inquire into whether that entity has some direct or indirect presence in Uganda, accompanied by a degree of business activity that is sustained for a period of time.&#8221;&nbsp;Justice Mubiru says Justice Ssekaana didn\u2019t have all the facts that support the conclusion that Vantage doesn\u2019t have the&nbsp;capacity to sue on grounds that it is not registered in&nbsp;Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI find myself unable to follow his decision, most especially considering the fact that it is not binding on me. The High Court is bound by decisions of the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, and the Constitutional Court, but is not bound by other High Court decisions. In any event, a decision which is reached&nbsp;<em>per incuriam&nbsp;<\/em>is one reached by manifest slip, error, or glaring mistake, such that some part of the decision or some step in the reasoning on which it is based is found, on that account, to be demonstrably wrong and therefore can be avoided.&nbsp;Having found that this specific factual finding of my brother Judge is not evidence-based, and more so, it is not entitled to deference as a precedent binding on this court, I respectfully depart from it and find that there was no basis for counsel for the applicants to have chosen to file a suit intended to enforce what they considered to be a declaratory decision in that ruling,\u201d Mubiru said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also reiterated his earlier ruling in which he bashed Muwema for suing Vantage lawyers for undertaking their lawful duty of representation.\u00a0\u00a0He said\u00a0suing advocates is an affront\u00a0to\u00a0the right\u00a0to\u00a0legal representation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAdvocates should be able to practice independently and in freedom\u2026advocates should not suffer, or be threatened with, suits,\u00a0prosecution or administrative, economic or other sanctions for any action taken in accordance with recognized professional duties, standards, and ethics,\u201d Justice Mubiru held.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the previous case decided about three weeks ago, Mubiru condemned Muwema to personally being liable for costs for misadvising Bitature to personally sue lawyers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The judge also implored Bitature and his lawyers to disabuse themselves of the view that Vantage doesn\u2019t legally exist.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This he said is what motivates them to file vexatious applications suing people they shouldn\u2019t be suing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt&nbsp;appears to me that the applicants are laboring under an honest but mistaken belief that it was decided by the Civil Division of this Court in High Court\u2026that M\/s Vantage Mezzanine Fund II Partnership does not exist. The failure to disabuse themselves of that misconception has clouded their judgment so deeply that they have gone to great lengths to avoid any stance that has a semblance of recognizing the existence of that entity,\u201d Mubiru said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that he&nbsp;found the&nbsp;application and the underlying suit&nbsp;to be&nbsp;entirely misconceived on account of the fact that they were instituted against agents of a&nbsp;&nbsp;known principle&nbsp;and that there is a properly consisted arbitral proceedings on the same matter.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis court had on two occasions before already declared that it will not exercise jurisdiction over the matter in light of the submission to arbitration that is valid, binding, operative, and enforceable\u2026In the result, I found that a&nbsp;<em>prima facie&nbsp;<\/em>case had not been established. There were no serious questions of law and fact to be tried by this court to justify the grant of a temporary injunction\u2026\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The High Court in Kampala has dismissed with costs an application by Kampala businessman Patrick Bitature for a temporary injunction to\u00a0restrain\u00a0his creditors of\u00a0M\/s Vantage Mezzanine Fund II Partnership from selling, alienating,\u00a0disposing\u00a0of,\u00a0taking possession, or any action against his properties.\u00a0\u00a0 On May\u00a018,\u00a0The\u00a0Daily Monitor\u00a0newspaper\u00a0advertised the sale by public auction properties belonging to Bitature for failure to meet his [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":536,"featured_media":31268,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_paywall_metabox":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[356],"tags":[31,7528,119],"class_list":["post-31266","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-big-story","tag-featured","tag-patrick-bitature","tag-uganda-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
